Spain, italy, and Indonesia have done it, and now too has Malaysia. Malaysia is getting into the digital nomad visa game in an effort to draw remote workers who want to experience the country’s tropical islands and rainforests.

The DE Rantau program will launch on October 1, and it will allow digital freelancers, independent contractors, other remote workers to live and work in Malaysia for 3 to 12 months with an option to renew for up to another year. This gives digital nomads interested in say Kuala Luimpur or Penang more flexibility. Outside of this program, only U.S. citizens are allowed to work in Malaysia for up to 90 days.

Applicants must be able to provide proof of at least 3 months of employment and earn t least USD$24,000 per year. In comparison to some other digital nomad schemes, it’s a much more reasonable salary requirement. If that seems too low to you, consider that the average one bedroom apartment in Kuala Lumpur is about USD$460 per month.

Remote workers who sign up for the program will be offered benefits such as remote worker0friendly accommodation and discount vouchers.

MDEC expects a significant boost to the country’s economy, “The DE Rantau [program] aims at establishing Malaysia as the preferred digital nomad hub in ASEAN while boosting digital adoption and promoting digital professional mobility and tourism across the country,” says MDEC on its website.

Getting a DE Rantau pass will cost 1,000 ringgit, or USD$217. However, if you have a spouse or children accompanying you it’s an additional 500 ringgit, or USD$108 per dependent.
